surah Baqarah aya 171 , English translation of the meaning Ayah.
﴿وَمَثَلُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا كَمَثَلِ الَّذِي يَنْعِقُ بِمَا لَا يَسْمَعُ إِلَّا دُعَاءً وَنِدَاءً ۚ صُمٌّ بُكْمٌ عُمْيٌ فَهُمْ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ﴾
[ البقرة: 171]
2:171 The example of those who disbelieve is like that of one who shouts at what hears nothing but calls and cries cattle or sheep - deaf, dumb and blind, so they do not understand.
Tafsir Ibn Katheer in EnglishThe example of those who disbelieve and stubbornly follow the path of their fathers is like the example of the shepherd who shouts, calling to his animals that hear his voice, but do not understand what he says.
They are deaf to hearing the truth so that it will benefit them, dumb as they are unable to speak about the truth, and blind to seeing it, and because of this they do not understand the guidance which you call them to.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
And the example of those who disbelieve, is as that of him who shouts to the (flock of sheep) that hears nothing but calls and cries. (They are) deaf, dumb and blind. So they do not understand.

Abdullah Yusuf Ali - Translation
The parable of those who reject Faith is as if one were to shout Like a goat-herd, to things that listen to nothing but calls and cries: Deaf, dumb, and blind, they are void of wisdom.
Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri
And the example of those who disbelieve is as that of him who shouts to those (flock of sheep) that hear nothing but calls and cries. (They are) deaf, dumb and blind. So they do not understand.

ومثل الذين كفروا كمثل الذي ينعق بما لا يسمع إلا دعاء ونداء صم بكم عمي فهم لا يعقلون
سورة: البقرة - آية: ( 171 ) - جزء: ( 2 ) - صفحة: ( 26 )Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
Their negative response to the Prophet fits exactly the example of the cattle’s response to the herdsman urging them forward: either of them can hear only the utterance but none of them can intelligently distinguish between shades of meaning nor perceive value differences; deaf, dumb and blind, they cannot claim the discourse with their intellect
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(2:171) The mental condition of those who rejected the way of Allah may be likened to that of the cattle whom the shepherd calls but they hear nothing except the sound of shouts and cries. *169 They are deaf, they are dumb, they are blind; therefore they do not understand anything.
The example of those who disbelieve is like that of one who meaning
*169). This parable has two aspects. On the one hand, it suggests that these people are like herds of irrational animals, dumb cattle, that always follow their herdsmen, moving on as they hear their calls without understanding what they mean. (Thus these people follow their leaders even though they do not grasp where it is they are being led to - Ed.) On the other hand, it also suggests that when the Truth is preached to them they show such insensitivity to it that one may as well be addressing animals who merely comprehend sounds but are incapable of understanding their meaning. The expression lends itself to both interpretations.

یہ لوگ جنہوں نے خدا کے بتائے ہوئے طریقے پر چلنے سے انکار کر دیا ہے اِن کی حالت بالکل ایسی ہے جیسے چرواہا جانوروں کو پکارتا ہے اور وہ ہانک پکار کی صدا کے سوا کچھ نہیں سنتے یہ بہرے ہیں، گونگے ہیں، اندھے ہیں، اس لیے کوئی بات ان کی سمجھ میں نہیں آتی
